eSmileys: Imaging Emotions through Electro-Tactile Patterns
ABSTRACT
Graphical input and visualization has irrefutable benefits
as an intermediate between an analog perception of the
human being and a computer that operates on and
produces discrete data. However, graphical images pose
greater problems for blind and visually impaired users.
The converting of visual images into another sense
(modality) could open new ways in visualization
technique and promote alternative communication and
user interface technology for all. Tongue is one of the
most sensitive parts of human body. There have been
several attempts to apply the tongue in human-computer
interaction both to control and display information. The
current study is based on electro-tactile stimulation of the
tongue to transform short conditional messages, presented
by symbols or graphics, into electro-tactile patterns. The
goal is to estimate the efficiency of sensory substitution
of the conditional semantic information regarding
emotions with the use of Composite Electro-Tactile
Patterns (CETP).
